Kick-off: 1600, 22/05/2022
Stadium: Turf Moor
Burnley will stay in the Premier League if beating Newcastle but we reckon a draw at Turf Moor could leave the Clarets sweating on events elsewhere.
They would then have to hope that Leeds fail to win at Brentford, as a thrilling relegation battle goes right down to the wire.
Punters can get 3.4 for a stalemate in this match and that is our initial Burnley vs Newcastle prediction.
Burnley Odds
Burnley scrambled back out of the drop zone when battling to a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa on Thursday.
Emiliano Buendia cancelled out an Ashley Barnes penalty but that result was good enough to put them above Leeds on goal difference.
John McGinn, Ollie Watkins, Danny Ings and Bertrand Traore all had chances to snatch victory for Villa, but Nick Pope was again superb between the sticks for the Clarets.
Caretaker manager Mike Jackson beamed: “For what the group went through, the spirit and fight they put into it was amazing.
“The game wasn’t a silky football match but we knew what we needed to do. It was the least we wanted to come away with, so we’re pleased with that.
“Nick was amazing. He has been doing that continuously, look at his quality and the way he has been progressing. He is in great form.”
With more of the same defensive resilience, plus the support of a fanatical Turf Moor crowd, Burnley will be hard to beat.
Looking at the Burnley vs Newcastle odds, we feel 5.0 for the scores to be level at half-time and full-time is another good bet.
Last Burnley line-up: Pope, Taylor, Tarkowski, Roberts, Collins, Long, Cork, Brownhill, McNeil, Cornet, Barnes.
Newcastle United Odds
Newcastle are not the easiest team to be facing right now, though, as they have only lost to Liverpool and Manchester City in their last seven games.
Monday’s 2-0 home defeat of an Arsenal side chasing Champions League football was a fifth straight win against teams outside of the top two.
Eddie Howe inherited a side without a league win to their name and five points adrift of safety when he replaced Steve Bruce in November.
But the former Bournemouth and Burnley boss has steered the Magpies to safety following a high-profile takeover by mega-rich owners.
Howe said: “At one stage, if you had offered us the last day with a chance to stay up if we won that game, then we would have taken it, because we were so far back.
“Since then, we’ve gone on this incredible run, the players have done an amazing job to get the job done early and now we’re not in that position.
“I can tell you from my experience, that’s an amazing feeling.”
However, it is worth noting that four of Newcastle’s recent wins have been at St James’ Park, with the other coming at already-relegated Norwich.
The Magpies will be without influential midfielder Jonjo Shelvey and have several other players carrying knocks, including ex-Burnley striker Chris Wood.
That should level things up and 6.75 for a 1-1 stalemate completes our Burnley vs Newcastle betting tips.
Last Newcastle line-up: Dubravka, Schar, Targett, Krafth, Burn, Almiron, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Wilson, Saint-Maximin.
